investment advisor or financial advisor - Internationally

Good day to all, beforehand thanks for all the answers.

I was looking for information into getting a financial or investment advisor certification. I want to do it for my own benefits, just because I want to see if I can become one.

I have been reading and most of the exams and subsequently certifications required sponsors or immediately be registered with the SEC or state.

My question is:

Can I just become a certified investment advisor and…. Never used it? 

And/or… If I want to open an advisory firm, can I get my certifications beforehand?

Finaly, I am located out of the US. I will not register in my native country as… well…. Lets say it does not exist the framework.

What could it be a good day of going around all this? 

In general, I invest for myself, but I cant close the door of taking maybe in a future outside investment funds.
